Bangkok Regions, Zones

We split Bangkok into Zones according to the varying environments, skytrain vs. suburban living, and styles of living, among other things.

The main two differences are "city center" versus "suburbs".

City Center Zones A thru E

Zones B, C, and D are the Sukhumvit zones, which consist mainly of apartments and condominiums, though there are many houses here, too. Click on the Sukhumvit link for more details. Zone E is the older Silom and Sathorn zones, with a higher ratio of apartments and condominiums vs. houses for rent. Zone A is in between and is a more pristine luxury highrise area.

Central Business District (CBD) zones A thru E:

Suburban Zones

The suburban zones are shown below in a zoom-out map, with the skytrain in red, subway in dark blue, and airport link in purple:

Our suburban zones include:

• Bang Na (east-southeast), the only suburb with a skytrain station, and best commute to the airport
• Bangkapi (northeast), also good for airport commutes
• Nonthaburi (northwest), grew up along the river, with many government offices
• Pathum Thani (far north), the cheapest but rarely chosen
• Ekamai-Ram Indra (north-northeast), the northern extension of Ekamai, fairly new and rarely chosen
